As easy as 123
Tonight's task was as an easy one to arrange. It's the school my children go to and I had noticed on a few occassions that the reception play area was looking a little leafy with the Autumn leaves still floating around...we didn't want the children to fall behind, so a task with GoodGym was agreed with our Deputy Head at the school gate!
I wish all tasks were this easy to arrange. The reception area already had brooms and dust pans and brushes out as play tools for the children, so the tools were sorted. The lighting was on par and access was a breeze! No chance of getting this task marked incorrect!
WWW (welcome, warm up and what you did)
It was great to see Nimi back on her second task with us, having only just joined us last week (and in her tee!...super quick delivery on that!), but as well as Nimi, we also had Lauren join us on her first Slough task but not first GoodGym task as she was a regular in Newcastle until she moved down soughf...
During our warm up, I asked the team what the highlight of their day was and we had lovely replies such as
Attending this session tonight;
Talking to locals ;
Getting their work load sorted ;
Going on a lovely long walk;
To listening to 'my dad wrote a porno' podcast.....
Lovely to start the session with a little insight into each persons day..
Hi school? Nope, we are at the primary
Harsha was the leader of the pack tonight taking Nimi, Lauren and Jen with her whilst I lead the backpack..
It didn't take us long to get there so we'd already decided to run a few laps of the Langley Memorial Park on our way back after the task to get more miles in.
On arrival, we quickly got to work:-
- Jean swept the leaves
- Harsha picked that litter
- Sandy sorted the plastics
- Jen swept the floor clean
- Pam was on bag duty
- Lauren was on shifting and lifting, whilst
- Nimi worked out which toy went where
All in all we did a pretty good job and made the area look like you could eat your dinner off it! We even had time for a few games...well done to Nimi and Lauren on a draw at Connect 4! and Jean for winning the knee tag game!
Next week is our loved up Valentines special...who needs a candlelit evening anyway!
Always a class act

This was our first task at The Langley Academy Primary and our mission was to help revive the outdoor forestry learning garden!
With child height weeds we did have our hands full, but we are naturals at digging up weeds so this was child’s play for us!
No punning in the hall
With a few of us running to the task, we were already warmed up and ready to do our good weed of the day.
The cutest little shovels and forks as our tools, we sectioned off the area so we could safely tackle the bushes!
Never a dill moment
On the left side we had:-
- Ruth Corocus
- Sandy Daisy
- Agnija Caranation
They did a cracking job of unearthing the … earth really ! Ruth was on a mission and knew just the thicket to get the job done!
In the middle were:-
- Nisha Bellflower
- Sutyee Poppy
- Sara Gillyflower
- Harsha Bergonia
- Assisted by Ricky Kaffir Lilly
Their section was quite hard with lots of brambles but they got a twiggle on and pulled out some thorny stalks!
On the right we had:-
- Pam Blossom and
- Jean Wallflower
Our expert gardeners who kept their heads down and did a blooming great job!
We worked hard tonight! I think someone saved the sweet pea bush as requested by school! 10 out of 10 for you!
An hour in and we were all done just in time for bud time. Plenty left for a follow up visit and a quick school photo of the good kids and the naughty ones!
Great task and superb efforts by everyone.
Throw her to the wolves and she will return leading the pack
But that’s not where we end the report! Tonight was Supergirl Harsha’s 100th good deed!
Here are some things about her that you may or may not know!
She’s never hits the wall - she just climbs over it.
She likes to get dirty.
We don’t like you either - said the burpee to everyone except Harsha.
Her scars are a sign of her survival.
She is courageous.
She’s on fire! (In some photos she really is!).
She’s strong!
She smashes all her goals.
She’s in a Wolfpack!
She’s just an awesome person all round!
Well done Harsha! Awesome milestone to reach (and before Rickyyyyy) 😂
We have plenty of other tasks booked on the system - hope to see you there!
